This modern touch reflects how the job market is evolving and how job seekers can stay ahead. Kathryn explains these tools and demonstrates their value with seven case studies. Each example includes the original five-page federal resume, the target job announcement, an AI keyword analysis, a newly formatted two-page private industry resume, a one-page cover letter, and an updated LinkedIn profile summary.
What works is Kathryn’s ability to balance detail with accessibility. Her step-by-step structure allows readers to move through the transformation process confidently. Readers will especially appreciate her emphasis on resume accomplishments that speak directly to private industry employers, shifting the focus from federal jargon to business value.
